After looking at Wubi, I think my idea is a bit "cleaner". I say this because when you use Wubi, the Ubuntu living inside a file in NTFS will in time loose performance as it falls prey to that NTFS partition becoming more fragmented.

Having said that, Wubi would probably be an easier solution to implement (than SBM), since Wubi already has simple and gorgeous GUI. My idea to use SBM would take more effort because it would require the creation of a nice-looking GUI. SBM already seems to have a DOS-based installer for Windows (which might be a possible starting point in the implementation of my idea):
